14 Tickets and schedules: TORONTO2015.org/PANAMANIA Dear friends,

Welcome to PANAMANIA, presented by CIBC. This spectacular cultural festival not only elevates the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games but also provides a rare and immersive experience that is both creative and progressive through its spirit of innovation, accessibility and diversity.

Since the first Olympic Games, arts and culture have been intrinsic components of international sport competitions, and this gathering of top athletes and artists is a golden opportunity for each of us to be courageous, to strive to be the best and to expect the best.

From the early stages of planning for PANAMANIA, we imagined the legacy of arts and culture to be a dynamic experiential event, offering creative partnerships with our communities, a unique showcase of the rich cultures of the Americas and an opportunity to celebrate the human spirit.

With more than 250 unique multidisciplinary performances and presentations across 35 days, PANAMANIA provides a rare opportunity to engage with diverse communities, to raise understanding between people and nations, and to encourage a renewed sense of genuine collaboration.

Through our commissions, PANAMANIA has provided artists with initial funding to create new original works and these 28 presentations will have their world premieres during the festival.

The epicentre of the festival, PANAMANIA Live @ Nathan Phillips Square, features 22 days of surprise and delight starting on July 11. Other festival sites include CIBC Pan Am Park and PANAMANIA Live @ The Distillery District. All three sites are free and open to the public.

We invite you to come out to meet your neighbours from near and far and join the celebration.

The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games will be the largest international multi-sport Games Canada has ever hosted — bigger in terms of athletes, sports and venues than the recent 2010 Olympic Winter Games!

They are also the first international multi-sport Games held in the Greater Golden Horseshoe region since the Toronto 1976 Paralympic Games and the inaugural British Empire Games (which later became the Commonwealth Games) in 1930.

By the numbers, these Games involve: • 1.4 million tickets • 250,000 visitors • 10,000+ athletes and officials • 51 sports (36 Pan Am/15 Parapan Am) • 41 countries and territories • 30+ competition/training venues in 16 municipalities • 23,000+ Games volunteers The TORONTO 2015 Games are funded by the , the Province of Ontario, as well as Lead Partner CIBC and other partners and sponsors.

The Pan Am Games take place from July 10 to 26 and the Parapan Am Games from August 7 to 15.

About the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games Since they were first held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1951, the Pan American Games have grown into one the world’s largest international multi-sport Games.

Held every four years, the Games bring together athletes from the 41-member nations of the Pan American Sports Organization (PASO) to compete in Olympic and Pan Am-only sports in the year ahead of the Olympic Games.

In fact, they are an important springboard towards future Olympic glory for the athletes.

In 1999, the inaugural Parapan Am Games were held in Mexico City with 1,000 athletes from 18 countries competing in four sports.

Their popularity and size have soared since.

Since 2007, the Host Cities of the Games have also held the Parapan American Games to celebrate the strength and endurance of athletes with a disability.

The 2015 Parapan Am Games will be the largest ever held — with more than 1,600 athletes from 28 countries and territories competing in 15 sports — all important qualifiers for the upcoming Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

These Parapan Am Games will also be the first held in Canada.
